Chemical safety refers to the practices and precautions taken to prevent accidents and injuries when handling chemicals. This includes understanding the properties of the chemicals, using appropriate personal protective equipment (PPE), and following safety guidelines. Proper labeling and storage of chemicals are also essential to minimize risks. In workplaces like laboratories and manufacturing facilities, training employees on hazard communication and emergency response procedures is crucial. Regular inspections and maintenance of safety equipment, such as fume hoods and fire extinguishers, help ensure a safe environment. Adhering to regulatory standards further promotes chemical safety and protects both people and the environment.
